Playing at home has brought out the best of Elche this season, and they have another opportunity in their next La Liga game. Sitting 11th, they will be hosting 13th-placed Rayo Vallecano, who are desperate to return to winning ways. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Elche will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga, and having to play at home already feels like a step towards that. They are coming off a 1-0 away win at Eibar in the Copa del Rey.
Los Franjiverdes will now look to rise in the league following their 3-1 defeat at Mallorca. That wasn’t unexpected, with Elche having managed just three points away from home. A massive 16 of their 19 were won at Estadio Manuel Valero.
Among the factors Rayo Vallecano will be banking on here is their head-to-head record. They have three wins in the last five meetings with Elche, though in their last meeting, they suffered a 4-0 defeat here.
Rayo are also disadvantaged by a longer list of absent players due to injury and international duty. Leading scorer Jorge de Frutos is out with a knee injury until January.
Rayo beat Drita 3-0 in the Conference League in midweek, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. They are, however, winless in six La Liga matches. Away from home, they last won a league game in mid-October.
